NATO countries should again move to increased defense spending - Rasmussen

71
NATO countries should again move to increased defense spending - RasmussenNATO countries must stop cutting military budgets and re-proceed to increasing defense spending. Such was the keynote of today's speech by the Secretary General of the Alliance, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, at the 58 session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, which ends here.

"Defense spending is reduced in all countries of the alliance. We need economic recovery. And based on this, we need recovery in the area of ​​defense spending," he stressed. According to Rasmussen, it is first necessary to “stop the cuts,” and then proceed to increase allocations for defense purposes. “Freedom does not come for free. And any decision made to improve our economy should not plunge us into another kind of crisis — into a security crisis,” he said.

As the main reasons that should prompt the governments of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance to increase defense spending, he called the policy of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China in this area. "By 2015, China will surpass eight major European members of NATO together in military spending. And Russia intends to double its defense budget from 3 percent to 6 percent of GDP over the next 10 years," the head of the alliance said.

According to Rasmussen, compared with 2009 year, the total expenditure of NATO countries on defense in 2011 decreased by 56 billion dollars. Only 6 of the European members of NATO increased their military budgets in 2011, however their growth was insignificant.

        I just now "struck", I hope they will not write the State Secret to the disclosures: Maybe our leadership, with its declarations of rearmament and massive supplies of equipment by 2020 (2030), is drawing NATO into a "tailspin" of the arms race? They used to troll us SDI, now they can get a "return"? Here, our PLA is also strengthening (engines, S-300, aircraft carrier ...) I understand that it’s nonsense, but in every joke ... wink

        Yes, NATO’s main armies have long wanted to sneeze on the alliance (with the exception of France, England, and other troops ... x). Germany has been sneezing on the alliance for about 5 years now, it only sends out the contingent which it is obligated to expel under the agreement and not by a soldier anymore; their priority is not support for the policy of Amers, but their own country. I will not be amazed if the Germans will soon send all of Europe with forest and amers in the first place)))

                One must hold on to power smartly.

                Now I will go with an even bigger visor.

                Reforms must be completed by the one who started them. And I started them!

                The situation has already tempered us, and we know who hu really is.

                The booze was everywhere. Both in production and in departments. I know this from the work of Raisa Maximovna.

                I am in this case with Jesus Christ. He was the first socialist with us. There is nothing to be done.


                I say what I think. In the same way, when they say about me that they think, and without even thinking, they say. Why then, thinking, I can’t say?

                And, frankly, they hoped that the developed West would carry us in our arms. Well no! This is an illusion, utopia, no one will wear anyone anywhere.

          Do not repeat nonsense after the liberals of the 90's

          The state monopoly on alcoholic products brought the USSR budget up to 23% of the total, and the military budget spent 15% of the "alcoholic money".
          The collapse of the SSR occurred as a result of the betrayal of the nomenclature, and not financial and economic exhaustion.

            - too straightforward planned economy also said its word. Products, once approved by the State Planning Committee, but not in demand due to fluctuations in fashion and other reasons, were nevertheless produced, they consumed raw materials, energy, salaries, bonuses for fulfilling the plan (!), But then all this settled as a dead weight on the shelves shops. My heart was bleeding when the shelves were completely filled with generally good shoes, the whole "joint" of which - the wrong heel or the wrong sock, people refused to buy them, chasing some kind of sucky salamanders. And this is millions of rubles down the drain!
            But nevertheless, the State Planning Commission must be revived, but it must not be so straightforward to plan. Better to plan to capture market share. Like, if now the share of Russian shoe companies in Russia itself is 20% (this is still a good figure, I doubt it too), taken into account for sales, then plan to reach 23% next year, etc. But this presupposes the creation of a sophisticated measuring instrument at the State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation with highly professional specialists, "especially resistant to bribes."

          The fact that misinformation about SDI worked, yes. But in all other respects, let me doubt your words, Mr. Traveler, for example, the fact that the United States at that time allocated huge doughs for the development of the same "Star Bullets" is a fact, only not voiced. When our people tested the Solar Sail project, when Florida residents watched at sunrise "a second sun in miniature and hysterically called the military, they say they see a giant UFO landing, when we tested the transmission of solar energy via a microwave beam from a satellite and accidentally burned the tundra in Yakutia ( the satellite missed the receiver.) The Pentagon was stunned by this fact, having estimated the option of using it as a weapon. And to this day, about our strike satellites (just launched at that time) a secret under seven seals. The Americans have invested the same dough in nowhere, only here they are silent about it.

            In pursuit of the "traveler's" comment about SDI. Not later than yesterday, at dinner, I watched on TV another "sensational" masterpiece on REN-TV in the "military secret" program with Prokopenko about the next "super" space drone X-37B, what fairy tales were not told about it, they say while he no one saw him in space and flew him (this means that our Outer Space Monitoring Tools are suckers or what?) super high-speed engine (you saw its size, it fits under the wing of a strteg.bomber) and a lot of other nonsense. Is this an order from the Pentagon or something, if so, then such a transfer is equivalent to treason. And most importantly, not a word was said how much this project costs, and how much money has already been thrown into this project, but it has devoured money and continues to eat immeasurably - why not SDI of Soviet times just for a turn? Our fellows, at one time played with the "Spiral" and put it off until better times. And here it is :)).

    If the country has plans to increase defense spending, then such statements do not play much weather. If there are no such plans - similarly. Here, they correctly pointed out that the participating countries already have enough worries. How many devidends will the Germans receive from such an increase? they already deal with the financial problems of other countries in fact.
    Now let's look at the list of participating countries. How many can even afford the cost increase?
    I don’t think that a situation is possible here when everyone will say at once: "Yes, sir, right, sir, now how we decide, how we get together, how we approve the increase in defense spending!"

    Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy - The European Union is bursting at the seams. The main donor is Germany, but there, too, there was a decline in production and unemployment began to rise. And then there is winter on the nose, cold weather and energy shortages. It seems to me that even without an increase in military spending, the European Union will leave this winter in an incomplete composition. They take too much on themselves, lest the navels come loose.

    Incidentally, one should not be ironic about Georgia’s entry into NATO. There will be nothing funny for Russia if a powerful American group unfolds nearby. It will not be one base, but a good bridgehead.

    In my opinion, the war with Georgia was just a monstrous failure for Russia. The very fact of its beginning, and not who shot who more. If Saakashvili did not suit, he had to be bribed, killed, compromised, but not to fight with the Georgian people! Even before Tskhinvali happened. And there is no need to tell that, they say, the FSB, the GRU and others "did not know" that something was planned there, they were "not ready." Since they did not know, they were not ready (although, of course, they were ready for war, this is obvious), it means to drive the guilty with a filthy broom. Now, quite justifiably, the Georgians are ready to accept NATO, because it was not the Americans who bombed their country. Putin will definitely not be able to restore relations between states. Wait for a new person to come. Not Medved, of course.

    It is clear that the Secretary General of NATO is very concerned about the state of the armed forces. All of Europe barely had enough missiles for the war in Libya (England, in my opinion, even borrowed missiles from someone). And given the tendency to save amid the crisis, soon NATO in general may remain a house of cards.

    Then they, poor fellow, will have to conduct very difficult negotiations with Russia, explaining how frightened their Egyptian (as well as Albanian, Libyan and others) democratic revolution brought to the goats, from which they now need to defend themselves.

    Before increasing budgets, you will have to dump the ballast in the form of Greece and all of Eastern Europe, completely stop funding it and concentrate on yourself. About the reasons for the defeat of the USSR in the Cold War. The main reason for the defeat is that the USSR no longer had a national idea, no one believed in it. The youth had a firm conviction that the Union was hopelessly behind the West in everything. In fact, we did not know a lot about our country, about its strength and power. Much was hidden from us under the censorship and the veil of secrecy, much of what one could be proud of. And only now we began to find out what country the Soviet Union was, what achievements it had. The West has also tried very hard to promote its so-called superiority. One of the propaganda methods was the movie produced by Hollywood. During the Cold War era, films about the backwardness and primitiveness of the Soviet army and Soviet weapons were printed in large numbers. A classic is the movie about Rambo, an American special forces soldier who killed Soviet soldiers in batches and surpassed them in everything. All this Hollywood brew was created with one goal - to cause us a so-called inferiority complex and make us stop being proud of our army. The worst thing is that our agitprop almost did not react to such a movie. The only more or less adequate answer to all this was one single film in which the Soviet soldier is not inferior to the American "Solo Voyage".
